ACTION: Notice of Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty

Administrative Reviews of Cold-Rolled and Corrosion Resistant Carbon

Steel Flat Products and Certain Cut-To-Length Carbon Steel Plate from

Various Countries.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (the Department) has received

requests to conduct administrative reviews of antidumping duty (AD) and

countervailing duty (CVD) orders on cold-rolled and corrosion resistant

carbon steel flat products and certain cut-to-length carbon steel plate

from various countries with August anniversary dates. In accordance

with the Department's Regulations, we are initiating these

administrative reviews.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 8, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Maureen Price, Import Administration,

Street and Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20230, telephone:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The Department has received timely requests, in accordance with 19

CFR 353.22(a) and 355.22(a) (1994), for administrative reviews of

various antidumping and countervailing duty orders with August

anniversary dates.

Because the number of countries and companies involved in these

cases is extraordinarily large, the Department has decided to do the

following: First, the Department will issue single administrative

protective orders (APO) covering the consolidated AD or CVD records for

each country. Second, although there are separate AD case numbers and

separate reviews that will be conducted for each class or kind of

merchandise, we will combine--as was done in the investigation--the

records of each class or kind of merchandise into a lead case record

for each country. The lead AD case numbers for each country are:

Australia (A-602-803), Canada (A-122-820), Finland (A-405-802), Germany

(A-428-813), Korea (A-580-814), the Netherlands (A-421-803), and Sweden

(A-401-805). For example, parties participating in any of AD cases on

steel products from France should file their submissions under case

number A-427-806, which is the lead case number for France. This is not

an issue for the CVD orders because there is only one case number for

each country subject to a CVD order. However, all appropriate case

numbers should continue to appear on each document. In addition, the

Department requires parties filing documents that relate to all steel

cases to submit comments to the General Issue files, public version

only (A-100-003 and C-100-004).

Initiation of Reviews

In accordance with sections 19 CFR 353.22(c) and 355.22(c), we are

initiating administrative reviews of the following antidumping and

countervailing duty orders. We intend to issue the final results of

these reviews not later than August 31, 1995. The following list

consists of administrative reviews requested. However, the Department

may determine at a later date to collapse some related parties.
